Memory release problem

In my application, i have Memory leak problem ie query's execution's used memory is not released after executing the query. i have already posted my problem

when i use AR.connection.execute instead of ActiveRecord then i got a temporarily solution as like

      @result = OfftakeReportingTable.connection.execute("select * from offtake_reporting_tables limit 100000")       @result.close

Here used memory is released.No problem but memory is not released if i copied record to another variable like

@result = OfftakeReportingTable.connection.execute("select * from offtake_reporting_tables limit 100000")       z=       for a in @result         z << a       end       @result.close       z.clear

please give me some ideas to release memory in above problem

Note:          I used to track free memory and used memory by 'free -m' command
